Freiburg Burglary Investigation: Criminal Investigation Department in Lörrach Takes Charge

In an unusual turn of events, a burglary occurred in a ground-floor apartment on Uhlandweg, Freiburg, on the night of August 21, 2025. The incident, reported at approximately 11:10 PM, has since been taken over by the Criminal Investigation Department in Lörrach.
